The Internet emerged in the late sixties in a scenario marked by the race of world hegemony between USA and USSR. Besides military applications, it was also initially used by researchers, academics, and college students, enabling file transfer between hosts. After the nineties the Internet reached the general public. It was then focused on other purposes, such as access to hypermedia, social networks, advertising and even products sale. Given the diversification of these accesses, the adoption of protocols for safe browsing has be come essential to protect user’s information. Combined with the classification of encrypted traffic, using appropriate techniques for this purpose, this paper aims to analyze the use of HTTPS pro tocol in various browsing scenarios once considered safe. Through testing scenarios, this research intends to verify changes and impacts that this protocol promotes regarding the data collection from the users during the Internet access experience.
